Today's Post for Memory Box on the Outside the Box Blog


Stencils + Dies = Great Spring Cards

I posted this today on Outside the Box, so I thought I would share it again here in case you didn't see it. 
I'm still working on ways to combine stencils and dies on the same card.  This is what I came up with for today's post.

I don't know about you, but making cards for spring actually gives me hope that it might just show up this year.  Plus setting our clocks ahead over the weekend gives us more daylight into the evening hours. More snow on the way this week, however.  THINK SPRING!!!
Happy Crafting!
